Abstract

This paper is research for Myeongjae(明齋) Yunjeung(尹拯, 1629-1714)'s theory of li(禮) relates to zongfa(宗法; clan rules). Zongfa is carry on a family lineage by the eldest son and relation of the right of primogeniture on East Asia. I especially research three points centering around Myeongjaeuiledabmun(明齋疑禮問答;Yunjeung&his follower's questions and answers of li). First, it is Yunjeung's recognition of Zhuxi's family rituals' zongfa principle. Second, who will be successor on eldest son died without issue? Finally, how does the second son who carry on a family lineage perform a religious service?Yunjeung's characteristic is justification and righteousness on zongfa's performance. He drew a distinction between the eldest son and the second son and the concubine's son, thought it correspond to Zhuxi's family rituals' zongfa principle. He basically maintained the concubine's son to be a successor whitout legitimate son, but suggested a successor's mental attitude in social structures being rigidly distinction of legitimate son and concubine's son. On the second son carries on his family lineage, Yunjeung attached importance basic principle of li and dealt with a problem of the eldest son and great-great-grandfather's ancestral tablet. Namely Yunjeung applied zongfa to the Chosun's social by basic principle and spirit of li, and Zhuxi's family rituals and Neo-Confucianism's zongfa principl.
